Some more changes that could be considered, still trying to restructure the mountain transit network around the A-Line.

I'm still assuming that the A-Line will start as a weekday, rush-hour-only route. I honestly don't know one way or the other, but that's how Beeline started. During the hours the A-Line is in service:

- A return of 45-Limeridge, similar to the older route, not the short-lived revival a few years back. There would be some "jogging" around the closed portions, but it's mostly doable. Some minor improvements would be needed on Upper James between Hester and the Linc. The eastern leg would serve parts of Upper Stoney Creek on its way to Elfrida, splitting the territory with 43-Stone Church. The western leg could wind its way to the Meadowlands (though it seems every bus is going that way) or it could cover the 41A portion of Mohawk, allowing more Mohawk buses to carry on to the Meadowlands.

- When there is no A-Line, 35-College uses its current two-way looping. When A-Line is running, use the Upper James/ Rymal routing only. There's already extra service to Mohawk College, and Limeridge Road is covered (above), so use some buses for the next proposal...

- A return of 32-Garth. Downtown to St. Elizabeth's Village via Beckett Drive, like the good old days. Or maybe instead of StEV, service should continue to somewhere on Twenty Road.

If A-Line hours were to match current B-Line hours (until 7:00pm weekdays), you could consider various combinations of route extensions and interlinings (32, 34, 25) to serve Twenty Road West. This would eliminate the need for Trans-Cab service in this zone Monday to Friday, as HSR service would be provided, and Trans-Cab service ends at 7:00pm anyway. Perhaps Sunday Trans-Cab service could be added, giving area residents seven-day transit service in some form.
